Badenoch accused of 'mother of all U-turns' over Iran war

Sir Keir Starmer accused Kemi Badenoch of the "mother of all U-turns" over her support for US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

The prime minister said the Tory leader had originally demanded the UK join the attack - but then backtracked this week.

The UK refused to join the initial strikes, a move criticised by Donald Trump.

“The Leader of the Opposition attacked me for that decision relentlessly, she said that the UK should have joined the US and Israel in the initial offensive strikes, then yesterday, in the wake of the economic consequences, the Leader of the Opposition totally abandoned her position.” Sir Keir said.
